Persevere!

Aah, the first flower buds on the maple trees are opening - what a delight they are.

Went up to the allotment whilst D went on what turned out to be a very successful forage in Lidl (apparently they have a queuing system organised now). I transplanted a few more strawberry plants from the mess of twitch grass they've been hiding in.

The extras are a couple of messages on signs that I passed en route.....Leith, eh? :-)
